Outlook (Word Editor)2003 will not autofill names

I installed 2003 outlook and word (outlook editor) on my brand new Win 8.1 netbook and when typing the "TO" and "CC" lines the names show up but when pressing enter they will not be accepted. I have to enter the first couple of letters of the names and then press the "check names" icon and go through the list even though the one I wanted was the one that showed up on the auto fill line singularly.

I know the auto fill does not go to the outlook contact book but rather remembers the names as they are "sent".

I have used outlook for years on both Win XP and Win 7 (various 32+64, Pro, Ultimate) and now with Win 8 it will NOT work the same way. My brother has the identical netbook and is running Outlook 2007 and it performs the same way - will not allow enter to complete the autofill. Whatsup over there at MS?

Any reason you can't update to Office 2013? I know, I prefer Office 2000 and 2003 as well, they have better Templates and the Macro Protection is not in those. But I saved the Templates and they work in Office 2007 to 2013.

With my limited use of Word - just formatting emails - I see no reason to update to Office 2013 from between $139-399 depending on which suite. I am NOT going to learn where all the new buttons and selections are on the ribbon. My wife had 2007 and it drove me nuts - I finally trashed it and installed Office 2003 on her two machines also. There is absolutely no reason for ME to upgrade. I will stick with 2003 notwithstanding the fact support will cease in April 2014.

When I start Word 2003 in my Windows 8 computer, I get the following message:
Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?
The program listed is Winword.exe
1. Why does this message appear? It does not do so in my Win 7 computer.
2. Is there a way to avoid this...

I have a laptop with Windows 8 and Word 2003 installed.
When I double-click on a .doc file in File Explorer, a warning window comes up that asks whether or not I will allow a program to make changes to my computer. When I click yes, Word 2003 opens, but the file does not open. There is a warning...

I'm setting up my backup system as my main system is down for warranty repair on the motherboard.
I had Outlook 2003 setup on the main system in both Win 7 64 bit and Win 8.1 64 bit. I know Office 2003 is not supposed to be compatible with Win 8, but it works OK.
On the main system in...

Since last Win 8 update Outlook 2003 no longer autofills the address. I erased the nst file and started a new nst file with each new email sent but it still will not autofill address. I also reinstalled Outlook 2003 and still no joy. Outlook also locks up for a few moments when I enter the first...

Hi All
I am beginning to think this is impossible but........I have spent the last 10 days or so getting really fed up with W8. My lovely old XP is dying so I thought I would upgrade (big mistake). However I have managed to get around all the problems it has thrown at me. I was just tidying up...

I am trying to adjust Word 2003 to my liking. In Win 7 I have it set to occupy half the screen. In Win 8 I can set the screen size but on restart it reverts to a quarter screen. I have tried everything I can think of but it keeps going back to quarter screen again.
Any suggestions please.
